Hello.  I am looking to getting back into the wonderful world of Hi-Powers. The last one I had was an old surplus; I am now looking at a Mark III.

My question is- If the dovetails are already cut in the Mark III, is machining still required for aftermarket sites?  I am looking at Heine sights, but not completely sold yet.

Thank you in advance.

It depends on the sights. Some (if not all) Heines require extra machining. But the standard Trijicon/Meprolights don't require any.

Thanks. Is there any reputable list of what should and shouldn't work?  

And why is there no FAQ for the hi-powers?

The HP is sorta a closed market handgun.  I like them but there are newer platforms out there now and so the HP market is more limited.  Try this site.

Cylinder and Slide does very good work on HP's and are very helpful with whatever questions you might have.

I just had Novak's put a set of their lo-mount 3-dot sights on my MkIII- was about a hundred bucks less than Cylinder and Slide, and they had the slide back to me in about a week and a half.   They did an excellent job.

I had Cylinder and Slide put Novak sights on a previous Browning and hard chrome it.  They also did an excellent job, it was just much more expensive than Novak's.

Wayne Novak's shop does nice HP work as does Jim Garthwaite.
